Typically, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The picture here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Z50 and FS7.

To sum up, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z50 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon Z50 will give more detail with its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern Z50 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
